We asked our smartass marketing director what beer would be a good choice for the sin of Greed. He only pondered for a sec and then said: “We should simply do as all the big players do: make a cheapass beer and sell it at a premium prize – that’s greed for you alright”. Our marketing director is a smart guy, so of course we did what he said. We even put a picture of him on the label.
The beer however turned out pretty badass. It’s a straight up German Pilsener without any fuss. Dig it – we do.
We’re not proud to be sinners, but at least we’re open about it…

Brewed from pilsener malts, Tettnanger and Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops and a Southern German lager yeast.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours hazy with a frothy wheat induced head. The head is okey but the beer itself looks pale blonde hazy. Most homebrewers would store the beer a little to make it somewhat more see thorugh but Amager doesn’t care. Minus points from me. The aroma is delicious, citrus and malt combining beautifully. A throrough thirst enhancer. But the taste is such a let down. The malt moves second and some citric hop gets to dominate. All the complecity in the build up lost to a one dimensional taste. It’s not a bad beer, but just so lost in taste, so one directional.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 7C). Bottle 50 cl - Batch 997. AROMA: almost absent hop aroma with notes of some diacetyl and a pinch of background DMS and acetaldehyde. Overall background of grainy and slight sweet malt. APPEARANCE: pale gold color and very slightly hazy. moderate creamy white head with average persistance. TASTE: overall malty-sweet and grainy flavour. imperceptible hop notes. some background DMS and diacetyl. very low bitterness with an almost sweet finish. PALATE: medium to medium-low body with a slight texture form diacetyl. OVERALL: a very nice keller version but without much hop presence.

Bottle at Taps Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear straw colour with a thin broken white head and a few bubbles. The aroma is light sweet malt. The flavour is light bitter with a smooth watery malt, light hop bitter palate. Light bodied with average carbonation. Rather poor. No different to those American mass produced malt liqours that we love to hate.
